Micron, Intel, and Intel Toshiba, revealed that we will have discs once Solid State Drives (SSD), at 10 Terrabytes. Their availability to the public according to the companies will start from the beginning of next year.
Τελικά, ίσως είναι ακόμα αρκετά νωρίς για τεχνολογίες multi-layer chip που θα καθιστούν δυνατές τέτοιες χωρητικότητες, αλλά όπως φαίνεται δίσκοι SSD με χωρητικότητα στα 10TB μάλλον σύντομα (σε λιγότερο από ένα έτος) θα είναι προσβάσιμοι από το ευρύ κοινό για χρήση στις καθημερινές μας Appliances.
Η Micron and Intel report that with its use technology 3D NAND, they were able to fit more than 3.5TBs on a bubblegum-sized SSD (!) and more than 10TB on a standard 2.5-inch drive.
As shown Solid State Drives with these properties (gum size) will slowto appear on the market, but according to the companies we are going to see huge jumps in possibilities of traditional hard drives.
When they first appeared Solid State Drives were popular due to their size and weight, but stood out for the very high cost compared to traditional hard ones. With this technology that seems to be maturing and getting more and more mainstream, availability will continue to rise and prices will continue to fall, as reported by TNW.
